I am so impressed with the amount of love Jen and Bill give these precious children. Think of all the changes Will and Zoey have experienced in their young lives: moving not only from one country to another but from vastly different cultures and customs than they were used to. They are acting like normal kids their age and having raised two boys myself, I think the discipline Jen and Bill give the children is entirely appropriate. Will had a serious hearing problem which affected his speech until he had surgery. He’s very bright and will catch up. All the physical problems, surgeries, limitations of mobility are things they deal with every day that the average person has never confronted. Let’s encourage them at every opportunity and not nit-pick at the way Bill and Jen are raising the children. They are very generous to allow us into their lives and millions of people watch them with fascination and pray for them daily. I feel blessed to have even have occasional glimpses of them on television. They are model parents and deserve our highest praise.

I see now that Zoey has started hitting his mommy (during the photo shoot) just like Will does. Jens comment in the show Zoey’s Birthday Party was ” Will isn’t bad to be bad, he wants to see you laugh”, I don’t agree, they are spoiling those kids rotten. These kids understand right from wrong, yet they are still in diapers. Too sad.

I totally agree. I see it more in Will than in Zoey. Will does bratty things and no one seems to want to help him make better choices. What are Jen and Bill afraid of? Will needs discipline. He does what he wants to do and gets away with it. It’s bad enough Will still cannot produce a sentence in English. He will have problems in school with the other kids because of his speech difficulties and problems with the teachers because of his bratty behavior. Jen and Bill better wise up and do the job that they wanted so desperately – to be parents.

@ Meranda I completely agree with you. It almost looks like Jen is afraid of Will. Will is just about as tall as Jen. At their photo shoot for the pictures for Bill, Zoey was telling Jen no and trying to hit her. Will lashed out too. It isn’t the kids fault, it is Will and Jens fault. I have seen Bill lay down the law, on the Easter show while coloring eggs so I know they can be good parents and have a try having some structure for those kids.

My gosh people! These are some lovely people giving some great little kids a wonderful life like they would never had in their own countries, and sharing with all of us. Until you walk a mile in another’s shoes…….it is always easier to see in another’s world than in yours. Lets give them some positive feedback.
I for one want to see more of them all. When is the new episode coming? Why can’t we have them on all the time?
Love you all Jen and Bill, Just call me Gramma Susie
